PHILIP o. DOYLE, or CLEVELAND, 01110, Assiuon [To THE srANnAnn OILcomrAur, or

, CLEVELAND, oHIo,A ooRroR 'rIoN or 01110 APPARATUS FOR MAxiNe. SOAPSUDSApplication filed February 14, 1931. lSer1a1 No. 515,754.:

The present invention relates to dissolving apparatus, and moreparticularly apparatus for preparing solutions such as of soap, etc; andit is among the objects of the invention to provide apparatusconveniently attachable to a water connection, and being eflicient incontrol ofa solution of desired strength, Without undue tendency tocarry through undissolved particles. Other objects and advantages willappear asthe description proceeds.

To the accomplishment of the'foregoing and related ends, said invention,then, comprises the features herein after fully described, andparticularly pointed out in the claims, the following description andthe annexed drawing setting forth in detail certain structureillustrative of the invention, this being indicative, however, of butone of the various ways in which the principle of the invention may beemployed.

In said annexed drawing: Fig. 1 is a side elevational view showing anembodiment of the invention; and Fig. 2 is avertical sectional view onenlarged scale.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, there is shown a container2. whose form and dimensions may vary, but which conveniently may be ofa size adaptable to attachment to a water spigot 3, asuitable connector4 being provided. A charging openingfi is arranged at the upper portionof the container, and a water inlet connection 6. Desirably, the lattermay be arranged with a baflie or partial partition? therebene'ath, suchassisting in preventing too extensive currents in the reservoir portionof the container- Extending into the container further down, and

8, and this partition also has perforations 13. At thelower end of thecontainer, a dispreferably well toward the lower end, is a' charge 14 isarranged, such as for convenient discharge into any desired receptacle15.

In use, the material to be dissolved, for instance, a soft soap or flakesoap, is charged in through the opening ,5, and the dissolving liquid,or water, is supplied from the spigot 3, the flow being regulated to thedesired rate consistent with the strength of solution or suds wanted. Byproper control of the lower inlet 8 by its valve 9, the strength may begradated as maybe desired. Mixing and I dissolving occurs in the uppercompartment above partition 10, and the solution proceeds through theperforations 11 to the lower chamber, where a further mixing withincoming liquid occurs, theresultant solution then passing throughperforations 13 and discharging through outlet 14, for instance into abarrel 15 as commonly employed in automobile-washing establishments. Thestrength of solution may be regulated closely by a proper set of thevalve 9, and the spigot may be opened and closed as a main-control.

Other modes of applying the principle of the invention may be employed,change being,

made as regards the details described, provided the means stated in anyof the following claims, or the equivalent of such, be employed.

I therefore particularly point out and dis tinctly claim as myinvention:

1.. Apparatus of the character described.

comprising a container having a charging opening and a liquid-inlet inits upper portion, a partition in said container beneath saidliquid-inlet having perforations, a valvecontrolled liquid-inlet beneathsaid partition, a perforatedpartition beneath said lastnamed inlet, anda discharge outlet independent of said last-named inlet in the lower portion of the container;

2. Apparatus of the character described, comprising a container having acharging opening and a liquid-inlet in its upper portion, apartialpartition extending horizon tally in the upper portion of said containerbeneath said liquid inlet, a perforated partition insaid containerbeneath said partial partition, a valve-controlled liquid-inlet be- Gilneath said partition, another perforated paf i tition beneath saidlast-named liquid-inlet, and a discharge outlet in the lower portion ofthe container.

3. Apparatus of the character described,

comprising a container having a charging opening and a liquid-inlet inits upper portion, a partial partition extending horizontally in theupper portion of said container beneath said liquid-inlet, a slopingpartition I thereb'eneath having perforations in its low- 1' er portion,a controllable liquid-inlet beneath said last-named partition, aperforat- 7 ed reversely-sloping partition beneath said last-namedliquid-inlet, and a discharge out:

F let in the lower portion of the container.

Signed by me this 6th day of February,
